Tip from the editors. The black vinegar must be Zhenjiang (Chinkiang) vinegar; substitutes change the dish entirely. The ratio of vinegar to noodles determines the whole balance.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle ★ 4.8

$ S$8 to S$20MalaysianBugis

Crawford Lane's legendary bak chor mee (minced pork noodle) institution since 1932, holder of the Michelin 1 star from 2016 to 2022. The vinegar-dressed noodles with minced pork, sliced pork, liver, fishcake and a pork meatball are among the most complex and balanced bowls in Singapore's hawker canon. A S$8 small bowl remains one of the city's most remarkable value propositions.
